Class of 2015 Garden State Division 1 commits

More than 190 football recruits from the Garden State signed their National Letter of Intent with Division 1 football programs this week. Here is a list of all Garden State Division 1 bound (FBS&FCS) seniors and a breakdown of commits by conference. Right now I have the total at 196 commits for this year. Please note, some prospects from the Garden State still have yet to make a commitment to the program of their choice. Only commits that signed their letter of intent are on the list.
